!Sir Eric Rodemai:

I believe that leaders are expected to supply two things most of all.

One is a compelling vision or sense of purpose for the group. And you bear a special responsibility to articulate that vision, and in a very compelling fashion.

And the second thing is to provide clear decisions. Doing that requires data collection and consultation, but ultimately leaders must set a direction.

Anyway you're welcome whenever you change your mind and decide we'd need to discuss the reputation of your clan again.

Farewell, and may we meet again in happier times.
